Is this normal?

Is it normal that I'm 2 weeks post op and still on a stage 2 diet but I've actually gained 3 pounds?

Yes, it's called the 3-week stall but it happened to me at 2 weeks also. Your body just went thru so much and it's adjusting. Just keep drinking Water and getting in your Protein and walking whenever you can--your body will catch up!

I too had the surgery recently (2 weeks ago), and almost everyday I lost a pound or two. The past 3 days, nothing, and I was feeling discouraged. I'm glad you asked this question, and good to know others are going through the same.

I lost less than a pound the past week. I am 3 weeks in... I hear it can last up to 6 weeks.

So glad I read this. I am in week 2 post-op and have hit a small stall. Lost 1 or 2 pounds a day the first week and then suddenly it is by the ounces...not gaining but staying steady. I feel I am not getting in enough calories but I am literally not hungry at all and find I struggle between what's more important Water in or Protein in.

Hi! Yes, I went through the same thing... And I am still going through it. I am three weeks out and still in a stall. I was told that it is very normal in the beginning to stall early on as your body is still healing. It is more important to get in your Protein at this point. I still struggle to get in enough Water but My Nutritionist said to make sure to get in my protein above anything else... Then water. I'm currently only getting in 30-35 ounces of water, but I'm trying! Good luck!
